Comments: Here's my beta on this sweet climb....
The climb starts out with a 35ft. off-width section. There is a finger crack parallel to the offwidth that adds some help. Follow the line into hands/fists and then into the crux(in my opinion)bulging finger crack. Just past this you'll get a nice rest and then head into a beautiful splitter crack that goes from thin hands to hands. The end of this route is beautiful. Once at the top, you can actually see through to the other side of the crack that you've ... more >>

Comments: The bolts are fine...from the ground they may look sketch, but once you clip em they are totally solid. Sweet climb.

Comments: This route is quite the adventure...the climbing and scenery have an extremely remote feeling. Fantastic! Kevin, Thanks for rebolting...I'll also be donating to the ASCA. I can't imagine being at some of those belays with 1/4" bolts. The Petes definitely have nuts of steel. Sweet route.

Comments: You can just barely reach the deck in 1 rappel from the tree at top of the route with a pair of 70s.

Comments: If this route were closer to the road it would get a ton of traffic...it's sweet. The crux is at the bottom...in my opinion. After that, the hand jamming is beautiful. The 25 pieces of pro is a bit hefty...I used around 14 and by no means consider myself a bold leader that loves run-out. Just my $.02.

Comments: Word of Caution....when the road gets a decent amount of rain on it, the dirt turns REALLY slick. I was going down the first switchback below Maverick at about 5mph and it was like trying to stop on ice.

Comments: Conditions on 2/17/07 are very fat. We climbed it in 2 pitches with 70s. It's a rope stretcher to make it to the belay ledge on the first pitch if done this way. 2 raps from the top (with 70s), and you're back on the ground. Absolutely sweet climb!

Comments: As stated in an earlier comment, THIS IS NOT Desert Sunset....in the Bloom book it is an Unnamed 10+. However, it is definitely worth doing! Fantastic hand-jamming and stemming right off the ground and then interesting moves at the top. A great climb to hide from the sun cause it's in the shade all day.

Comments: Get to this climb early in the AM and don't forget the headlamp....It would take the better part of a day to get back to the huge flows (way back) that you see from the road. After the first 2 pitches, you are in the middle of nowhere (or so it seems) and you realize that Cody is heaven.
